Detailed Description

Provides a data store for raw data to later be used as vertices or uniforms.

Data can either be provided directly using QBuffer::setData() or by specifying a generator with QBuffer::setDataGenerator() and providing a Qt3DRender::QBufferDataGeneratorPtr.

When using a generator the data will be loaded asynchronously in a job. The loaded data can be read back if the QBuffer::syncData flag is set to true.

Property Documentation

accessType : AccessType

Returns the AccessType of the buffer.

Access functions:

Qt3DRender::QBuffer::AccessType accessType() const
void setAccessType(Qt3DRender::QBuffer::AccessType access)

Notifier signal:

void accessTypeChanged(Qt3DRender::QBuffer::AccessType access)

See also QBuffer::AccessType.

syncData : bool

Holds the syncData flag. When syncData is true, this will force data created by a Qt3DRender::QBufferDataGenerator to also be updated on the frontend Qt3DRender::QBuffer node. By default syncData is false.

Note: : This has no effect if the buffer's data was set directly using the data property.

Access functions:

bool isSyncData() const
void setSyncData(bool syncData)

Notifier signal:

void syncDataChanged(bool syncData)

usage : UsageType

Holds the buffer usage.

Access functions:

Qt3DRender::QBuffer::UsageType usage() const
void setUsage(Qt3DRender::QBuffer::UsageType usage)

Notifier signal:

void usageChanged(Qt3DRender::QBuffer::UsageType usage)

Member Function Documentation

QBuffer::QBuffer(Qt3DCore::QNode *parent = nullptr)

Constructs a new QBuffer with parent.

QByteArray QBuffer::data() const

Returns the data.

See also setData().

[signal] void QBuffer::dataAvailable()

This signal is emitted when data becomes available.

[signal] void QBuffer::dataChanged(const QByteArray &bytes)

This signal is emitted with bytes when data changes.

Qt3DRender::QBufferDataGeneratorPtr QBuffer::dataGenerator() const

Returns the buffer functor.

See also setDataGenerator().

void QBuffer::setData(const QByteArray &bytes)

Sets bytes as data.

See also data().

void QBuffer::setDataGenerator(const Qt3DRender::QBufferDataGeneratorPtr &functor)

Sets the buffer functor.

See also dataGenerator().

void QBuffer::updateData(int offset, const QByteArray &bytes)

Updates the data by replacing it with bytes at offset.

Note: This function can be invoked via the meta-object system and from QML. See Q_INVOKABLE.
